Amazingness Intro for January 18, 2022 Dear Gossips, Megan Fox and Machine Gun Kelly announced their engagement last week and drank each other’s blood.

Style Rihanna in the Snow It was snowing in New York last night when Rihanna went out to meet A$AP Rocky for dinner. According to the paps, they went to the studio together afterwards. Whatever they had in NYC though, which was heading to Canada, seems a LOT milder than what we got here By Lainey • Jan 17, 2022 12:54 pm
Top Reads Prince Andrew, Ghislaine Maxwell, and the Bears Like I said last week when it was confirmed that Prince Andrew has been stripped of his titles and no longer an HRH, the royal family doesn’t get flowers for finally doing the right thing.

Coincidence or conspiracy Prince Harry’s Security Leak Another example of royal media hygiene and the importance of media literacy and hygiene, period, because there’s the version that the UK tabloids are spinning with this story, and the facts of the situation.

Movie Reviews and Previews We have to relitigate Beanie Babies now Right at the end of December, a documentary dropped on HBO Max about the Beanie Baby collecting craze of the 1990s, Beanie Mania. It’s not groundbreaking, but it does bring shame to the entire Chicago area—the first avid collectors were suburban Chicago moms—and it does a pretty By Sarah • Jan 14, 2022 02:42 pm
Sasha Lifestyle Sasha Finds: A “Braless” Candle I think it’s time we destigmatize the candle. I truly don’t understand why they get such a bad rap.
